Follow up from Charity Water

For those of you who were around when I celebrated my fiftieth birthday, you may remember I did a campaign to raise money for Charity:Water (with your help, I raised approximately $2000, which was 2/5 of what's needed to install a well). Charity:Water promised to report back to let me know exactly how my money would be used in eighteen months. I have received the following message from them:

Hi Peg,

By now you’ve heard from us about Dollars to Projects, and that we’re sending you proof of the water projects you funded through mycharity: water. It’s been about 15 months since we sent your money to the field, and you’ve been so patient.

We need just a little more time.

We’re sorry to say it, but we need some more time to report on the individual water projects that you helped to fund. Your projects were due this December, but things are moving a bit slower than expected. We plan to send your Dollars to Projects data in mid-2012 so you can see how every dollar you raised helped fund projects for people in need.

( For now, we’d like to share some info about the country, region, and partner putting your funds to work in the field )
